UNC Charlotte freshman Joshua Helm, 18, fell to his death from a seventh-floor dorm room early Sunday morning

A University of North Carolina at Charlotte freshman has died after falling from the seventh floor of his dorm.

Joshua Helm, 18, was found Sunday morning around 9:30 a.m. by a resident assistant on a first-floor overhang of Moore Hall. University spokesman John Bland confirmed the student fell from the seventh floor, where students say Helm's room was.

It is unclear whether drugs, alcohol or suicide led Helm, of Durham, to his fall.

“Though the investigation is still underway, there appears to be no foul play involved in this incident,” Bland told the Charlotte Observer.

While the 12-story dorm does not have balconies, windows can be opened from the inside.

Students who knew Helm said he was a good guy who had a lot going for him.
